Chandigarh, July 29

Cooperation Minister Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa today urged Union Fertilisers Minister Mansukh Mandaviya to immediately allocate 2.5 lakh MT diammonium phosphate (DAP) for August.

Randhawa called on the minister at his office in New Delhi this morning and sought uninterrupted supply of the DAP to farmers as per their requirement during the ongoing kharif season.

On his part, Mandaviya said the ministry would make all arrangements in advance for adequate allocation of fertilisers to ensure farmers were not put to hardship. The Union Minister said the ministry was committed to ensuring timely supply of DAP to all states, adding the requisite quantities of DAP would be moved to Punjab well in time.

Randhawa was accompanied by MP Dr Amar Singh, Registrar Cooperative Societies Vikas Garg and Markfed MD Varun Roojam.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
